Shotlist

Tribute to television as a servant of the public. Contains ample footage ostensibly taken from television news coverage, concentrating on Cold War events, disasters and accidents, and sports. There is an excellent sequence showing building demolition with a wrecking ball; the multistory building collapses. There is a continuing anti-communist bias to the film.
